Thanks for all the effort.

In the long run please consider running a federated Lemmy instance ( https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy ) instead of your regular forum :)

"Build your own refugee camp and bring it to prosperity"

Hmm I am intrigued and horrified at the idea of turning that into a game the same time...

Uh, that seems reasonably similar to Tetris Attack, which is one of my favorite puzzlers ever. Thanks for sharing!

Works nicely on the Pinebook Pro compiled from source via the AUR package on Manjaro.

I recommend setting the render resolution in the .ini to 800x600 instead of scaling it up from 640x480 as the default. If you set everything to 1920x1080 it becomes too small though.

For anyone wondering, with monodevelop 7.8.4 it is possible to get the source to work.

Another one of those titles on Steam that even though are right up my ally never even registered. Well I guess open-sourcing your game is a good way to do PR as well :)

Edit: Too bad the developer seems to treat this as a code-dump and even disabled issue tracking. I mean still great that he did release it, but no help in getting it compiled or an easy central location to merge back in improvements kind of sucks.

Also OpenGL support is or at least used to be hilariously bad on the Intel GPU drivers provided with Windows (no idea how it is these days, haven't touched Windows for OpenGL gaming in quite some time). Linux users are really "missing out" on that, since we got great OpenGL and even Vulkan support on Intel for quite a while now.

Sadly VR as been ruled out by the developers:

QuoteOne thing that probably won’t be happening is a VR mode. The question of a VR version crops up whenever a first-person horror game is announced, but in this case Grip says it would be very hard to do and Frictional doesn’t have any plans for it.

On an unrelated note: I love the small details of this, such as that the voice actor has this slight french accent that actually fits to the background story of the main character.

Quoting: trawzI hope they'll include some kind of VR support down the line, that would probably make for the scariest game ever!

Now that would be an awesome project for the recently open-sourced original Amnesia game engine :)

Yes, but I think they also more recently announced to have put development on hold (for both?) due to financial troubles of the developer. Thus it is looking rather unlikely that the Linux port will ever happen.
They work (with some performance issues) in Proton though.
